Wolfgang Depauli ,

(Harry Benjamin and Jack Aitke) on qualifying for the Saudi Arabian GP is what this show should be

I listen to this podcast regularly. Last year I got increasingly irritated as so much time was spent discussing why Max Verstappen and Red Bull are so dominant. The rest of the drivers and teams were often reduced to a few minutes in a show. However, that’s where the action happened in 2023. This last episode on the qualifying to the Saudi Arabia, Grand Prix 2024 gives me hope. A well rounded discussion covering the most noteworthy aspects. Please continue like that.

No news on this podcast, just gossip

Was a great podcast with news and analysis of races, and after race chat with drivers. Now its gossip, what the drivers are wearing, and Mercedes pr sponsored

Not impartial bbc coverage long gone, Very saddening

Alright

Good when they actually talk about racing. Seems to be a very clear agenda against Horner. Only thing they talked about in the last few episodes
